Episode description
This week, Adrian talks to Senator Marie Sherlock, whose Labour Party is introducing a bill that would give people the legal right to disconnect from work mails, DMs, Slack, Teams, Zoom and other platforms at certain times.
But is this actually possible in a 2020 workplace?
What is ‘work’ these days, anyway? Haven’t our lockdown lives become a blur of screens, one way or another?
Joining Adrian and Marie to tease out the issues is Fearghal O’Connor, the Sunday Independent’s deputy business editor.
